The Blue Ridge Shop Hop is a year-round directory created to encourage shopping adventures throughout the mountain towns and foothills of the Blue Ridge region. From Virginia and North Carolina to Tennessee, Georgia, and the foothills of South Carolina, this collection of small businesses and artisans reflects the culture, creativity, and heritage of the region.
We believe the best finds don’t come from big box stores — they come from small shops, handmade studios, cozy boutiques, and local markets filled with stories and character. Whether you're planning a weekend road trip, exploring with friends, or browsing from home, this directory was made to help you discover the places worth stopping for — and the people behind them.
To connect shoppers, travelers, and local communities with the small businesses, artisans, and mountain-town treasures that make the Blue Ridge region unforgettable — while celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and the joy of exploring scenic roads, Main Streets, and hidden places worth discovering. .
We welcome locally owned storefronts and independent makers, artisans, and small businesses located in the Blue Ridge region, including the foothills of South Carolina. Online-based businesses may be included when their products are created in the region or reflect the culture, craftsmanship, or heritage of the Blue Ridge.
